"Brother-in-law, why did you ask someone to report you when you came to me? Come in directly. Who dares to stop you?"
The eldest prince, who had tidied up a little, hurried over to greet Richard. He didn't seem to have his helmet on properly, and a few hairs were hanging out, looking a little messy. I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional.
"How can you be so rude when you come to visit His Highness?"
"Brother-in-law is a hero of the kingdom and a dignified dragon knight. It's my turn to salute you."
The eldest prince can be said to be extremely enthusiastic towards Richard. No matter whether he seemed impatient in recruiting Richard at first, at least he showed sufficient attitude and sincerity, even though Richard's height now makes him unqualified.
After being recruited, he quickly completed the change in mentality and tried to build a good relationship with Richard.
"You people, you have no discernment at all, and you actually asked Lord Richard to wait outside the door. Don't inform him next time, just bring Lord Richard in. If you let Lord Richard wait outside again, you don't have to wait outside."
My men are doing their job."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
The armored guards outside the manor were not so fancy. They just answered yes to the eldest prince's words. If Richard came to visit again next time, they would most likely not inform him and would just bring him in.
"They are also loyal to their duties. Your Highness, please don't criticize them harshly."
As the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. The eldest prince's attitude also makes it impossible for Richard to show off his attitude when he comes up. Moreover, not only did he give him a vital treasure, but he also sent his sons to study in the North. This relationship has a strong relationship.
Yes, it was impossible for Richard to avoid him.
This time, the two of them happened to need to cooperate on the rectification of the Central Plains garrison and various armed forces. They had to communicate more. Fortunately, with Richard's current status, he no longer had to avoid suspicion. How could he grow bigger?
You can follow your own ideas without thinking too much about other people's opinions.
Several people did not hesitate at the door and walked towards the manor while talking some useless flattery.
The eldest prince did not arrange for Richard to go to the previous reception room, but welcomed Richard to the garden in the backyard. The waiter had already prepared tea for him.
"We haven't seen each other for a few months. I only know about the battle at Longxingguan from the newspaper. I don't know what my brother-in-law thinks about the battle at Longxingguan."
"well!"
What can I say about this? If I had my way, I wouldn't leave Dragon's Breath Pass first to prepare for the fall of Dragon's Breath Pass.
Richard shook his head and said directly to the eldest prince:
"Can't hold on."
The eldest prince did not ask the reason, and after a moment of silence he said:
"Actually, judging from the actions of my father, you and Mr. Ross, I should have guessed it."
"The orcs are powerful in battle, and with the help of white dragons, the kingdom is not prepared at all. There is no opponent."
"Not only that, we also have to guard against the Rising Sun Cult internally. Even if the orcs can get help from the White Dragon this time, it should have a lot to do with the Rising Sun Cult."
There are powerful orcs, white dragons who are fully assisting in the battle, and even a powerful Rising Sun cult who acts as a traitor. The situation is so difficult that the eldest prince, who was very ambitious when he received the mission at the beginning, couldn't help but have a bitter look on his face.
, the enemy is too powerful and it is easy to breed negative emotions.
"Then, brother-in-law, do you think there is still hope for the human race?"
Hopefully, you guys can hold on to me for now, and after I return to the Northland for a few years, I can come out and push the orcs to the ground.
Of course, this is just what Richard thinks, and there is no way to explain it. But if humans really can't beat the orcs, that's not necessarily the case. No matter how powerful the orcs are, humans still have a tenfold population advantage. This is completely crushing.
With their population advantage, if they could all be mobilized, they could kill the orcs in a heap.
But the actual situation is that the Golden Dragon Kingdom, with Ren's full mobilization, has only mobilized an army of about three million, of which only half have guaranteed combat strength. Although this number seems to be a lot, compared with the Golden Dragon
The kingdom's huge population is obviously too small, and although the population of orcs is only one-tenth that of humans, the army mobilized at this time is already equivalent to humans. In terms of combat strength, orcs are not only more powerful, but also more numerous.
Unexpectedly, he is not at a disadvantage. Only humans who have beaten him are ghosts.
"Imitate what I did in the North, seize the land from the nobles, liberate the tenant farmers on the land, incorporate most of the people in the kingdom into household registrations, use the fields to raise soldiers, use the fields to reward the soldiers, mobilize the army to the maximum extent, spend a few years
, send an army of tens of millions from any distance, and fight back the orcs."
Li Cha's method is roughly speaking. According to our understanding, it is to implement the farming war system before the Qin Dynasty destroyed the Six Kingdoms, pull the country onto the chariot of farming war, and build the entire country into a war machine. According to this method, at least
It can squeeze half of human population potential.
"This system is like a volcano that can erupt at any time. Brother-in-law, you can suppress it."
The eldest prince, Jedi, was known as an outstanding figure in the past, and he also studied the system of the Northland. He soon discovered the shortcomings of the farming and war system. It is not sustainable. The military will eventually form a terrifying power group. If there is no strong force,
Powerful people stepped on the brakes, and in order to gain promotion and reward, the army could in turn kidnap the country.
"We'll talk about the rest later. As long as we can defeat the orcs, you don't care if the volcano erupts."
In the face of the general trend of orc invasion, other issues should be put on the back burner.
"It's a pity that the foundation of the kingdom is the nobility, so it's too late."
The eldest prince sighed. The current situation did not allow the kingdom to adjust its system. Moreover, such a thing that harmed the interests of the nobility could only be done by Richard with absolute force in the North where the aristocratic power was still relatively weak.
Only then can it be spread out.
He had just snatched some food and troops from the nobles of Clais City. He had to use all his tricks to implement Richard's farming and war system. He was simply trying to dig out the roots of these nobles, let alone fight against the orcs. In any kingdom,
If you dare to roll out the farming war system in an all-round way, be prepared to fight a civil war first.
"I hope the nobles will cooperate. I might as well count on my brother-in-law to improve your strength and break through the formation alone to reverse the situation."
The eldest prince said something dirty, but it sounded like Richard was reciting it silently in his heart, so it was not impossible.
"Forget it, there's no need to mention this matter again. What can I do about something that even my father doesn't dare to do? Why don't you tell me, brother-in-law, why you came to my place for any big reason?"
The eldest prince is also self-aware. Although he is enthusiastic, given their relationship, Richard is definitely not here to reminisce and chat with him.
"As for the elimination of the Rising Sun Cult forces near Clay City, if these guys don't eliminate them in advance, they will definitely be delayed when the orcs come."
"Well, I have also received the information about the Black Prison. I will wait until the nobles of Clay City honestly hand over the money and food..."
"Well, we need to harvest the food on the Great Plains as soon as possible and try to get it in our hands. If the orcs break through the Dragon's Breath Pass, we will..."
Just as Richard and the eldest prince were discussing the details of what to do next, the shadow under the eldest prince twisted unnaturally. It was shortly after noon, and the sun was still high in the sky. The sunlight of the order illuminated everyone.
The shadows are limited to a small area under the feet, and no one will notice the slightest movement.
But just this slight movement was discovered by the person with the most sensitive senses in the city.
The Protector Sword Master who had been following Richard suddenly ejected the sword from his waist, and pointed the sword's edge directly at the eldest prince opposite Richard.
